More Information

At Arhatrupa, we do our utmost to ensure that each statue follows established iconographic forms and is crafted with respect for lineage-based symbolism. If you notice any discrepancies, we kindly invite you to share your suggestions with us.

Our statues are handcrafted in Nepal using time-honored metal-casting traditions. Artisans begin by sculpting a detailed wax model, which is encased in layers of clay and fired to create a mold. Molten copper is then poured into the mold, and once cooled, the statue is carefully cleaned, hand-carved, and refined, reflecting craftsmanship passed down through generations of artisans.

A consecration service is available upon request and is performed by experienced Buddhist practitioners using traditional ritual methods.

About Vajradhara

Vajradhara, the supreme and primordial Buddha, beautifully embodies the essence of timelessness, transcending the limitations of beginning and end. He stands as a powerful figure of authority, with subdued and conquered evil spirits promising their allegiance, allowing the Buddhist faith to flourish freely. Revered as the Ādi-Buddha, Vajradhara occupies a vital role in the two main branches of the Mahāyāna tradition: the dKar-hGya-pa, or Red Bonnets, and the dGe-lugs-pa, known as the Yellow Bonnets.  

In artistic portrayals, he is often shown seated in a posture of serene strength, legs elegantly crossed and feet visible. Adorned with the Bodhisattva crown, he wears magnificent royal attire, complemented by intricate ornaments that highlight his princely status. His majestic presence is further accentuated by the ūrṇā, symbolizing spiritual insight, and the uṣṇīṣa, representing enlightenment. 

Vajradhara’s arms are gracefully crossed over his chest in the vajra-hūm-kāra mudrā, cradling the vajra, which symbolizes indestructibility, alongside the ghaṇṭā, a bell that captures the essence of emptiness. These uplifting symbols might also be accompanied by delicate flowering branches held tenderly in his crossed hands, creating a serene moment of mysticism that encapsulates his profound spiritual significance. Celebrate the inspiring wisdom and enduring strength that Vajradhara brings to our understanding of enlightenment!
